    Won't be back here until next month but I love swallows and watching them fly.
    Love that one with the reflection off the water.

    Beautiful.
    I couldn't imagine how much panning practice is required to capture these speed demons. Hope to see more.

    Hmm...interesting, considering I'm just a few hours drive North of you and we had sightings of tree swallows a week or so ago.. I think many of the swallows are still on their way though.

    Thanks for the kind comments, folks !! Really appreciated it.


    Got another one today:

    I still have a long way to go but will keep shooting.

    Re: Flying swallows

    Hmm......I've never seen them here until about mid April but maybe 'cuz we're in the hills.
    I should make a trip to the lowlands one of these times. You must have a lot of patience and resolve to catch these guys in flight.
    Keep Shooting!

    Nicely done! I've never seen the violet-green variety.

    The tree swallows started arriving here two weeks ago.
    Please do not edit or repost my images.

    What's a Loupe for anyway?
